Thanks for stopping by our off grid cabin build channel. We recently moved from the city with all of its conveniences to the middle of the forest near Sandpoint, Idaho. On our channel, we are sharing our journey from grid life to an off-grid homesteading life. We are starting from scratch on bare land. I hope you will come and join us on this journey as we build our off grid cabin and establish our homestead. You can learn more about our story here • Why we Choose to Live ...

You need to vent the hot water heater btw It will cause issues if you don't I believe

[@priusrepellent]

Careful of the words you use, they are powerful. The hose doesn’t cause cancer, you are blessed and covered in prayer 🙏!!!! Proverbs 18:21 puts it this way: “The tongue has the power of life and death.” The stakes are high. Your words can either speak life, or your words can speak death. Our tongues can build others up, or they can tear them down. I’m learning this daily guys! Love the channel

[@Melicoy]

I have a GREAT idea. Since the exhaust is so SAFE.... please feel free to stick your head on top of it for 2 minutes and breath all the air. You WILL be fine right? Dont rely on tech to keep you safe. If you need to ask the question then VENT it outside PLEASE. After 20years working in a "safe" asbestos mine people eventual said ops not safe but they thought the same thing as you do in the back of your mind. I can come for free and do the work you supply the pipe.

[@BenCos2018]

@@Melicoy I agree people should never rely on tech to keep the safe also things like that NEED to be vented outside

Have you ever thought of making a rain catchment system. To avoid going into town getting water. Then transferring from one tank to another???

[@rachelhorne8410]

That's what i was wondering....

[@kenyh6695]

I am in my sixties and have drank out of a green water hose all my life and I am still living and with no cancer.

[@odbo_One]

I have too but the hoses we get are palatable type hose, there is hoses that's contains bad elements like lead and chemicals.

[@donvee1419]

Hose water is so good. Kind of nostalgic lol kids now wouldn't understand.

[@HippieHillHomestead]

We fill all our cisterns from rain water that comes off our roof. Works much easier than hauling it. Use water filters and uv light to purify it. Good luck and thanks for sharing.

[@rixrig6193]

FYI - Suggest you look at getting 1 or 2 of the Zero G hoses from Walmart. They are drinking water approved and you have no problem rolling and unrolling them. They are black in color and feel like a fabric versus vinyl. They are very lightweight too. We used to have a couple of those white hoses and we now use the Zero G in our 5th Wheel RV with no problem.

[@beatricedavids2791]

Yes, please, a full cabin tour!! I was waiting on this😉 always good to see you guys, go well!♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@KuzweKanfarms]

Take some scrap lumber and build a couple of steps so and your SO can easily step into the crawl space and easily get back up.

When you make a re-cap or "tour" video... try to add links to the original videos in your series. I found my self fumbling through your vids this morning looking for the origins of this tour... to re-watch. Happy new year!! Hope to be watching you all long into the future!

[@TheUserid82]

Solar thermal is a fun way to make hot water as you can run it fully off sunlight with the collector array and a solar panel to run the pump. The evacuated tube setup is best in a place with snow as it is much harder for large amounts of snow to build up on a round pipe then on a large flat panel.

[@scottscott6794]

That's a great way of living especially with a beautiful outdoorsy wife.

[@geoffreymilke5176]

Awesome video, thank you. When you showed the view of the forest and lake in the background I KNEW you were in North Idaho. My wife and I have land 30 minutes east of Coeur d Alene where we intend to retire. We got an estimate of 28K to drill a well so we decided that we will install a water tank and haul from the public source 9 miles away. I searched KZbin for "best water tanks for areas that freeze", and there you were. Now I'm going to watch your well drilling videos to see what happened. Hope to see you in noridaho...Geoff and Lynn

You might look at Zero-G water hoses. Much more flexible compared to your white and green hose and they are approved for drinking water.

[@madscientist1828]

I'm going to be living off-grid pretty soon. I'm excited and a little scared too. I have never been 100% off-grid. Once upon a time I killed my breakers and used solar to power my lights, propane to cook with but I've never been without instant access to water. That's going to be a challenge but if I didn't think I could overcome it then I wouldn't be doing this. I'm a scientist. I built a nuclear fusion reactor (not self sustaining). If it was self sustaining then finding the off switch in a malfunction would be difficult. I've built some weird stuff. This step could be my chance to explore my creativity to the fullest extent. But still, failure is always a possibility..

[@the_judge_8262]

If you ever search for the correct way to wind up cables, that method also applies to house pipe too and keeps it tangle free 👍🏼

[@rickbigelow3022]

Hello first time watching. To make life a little easy when empting your water supply tank on the trailer to your holding black tank. Add a air valve to the fill cap, to the water supply tank to pressurize the tank with compress air. Do not over pressurize the tank, watch and see how fast it empties

[@HarryLevinson]

You seem to be a happy family on a great adventure. Idaho is beautiful. I want to find your adventures in Tennessee next. I'm just getting caught up but if you are going to be there much in the winter you might think about insulating the floors above the crawl space. Though heat rises you must be "spending" a lot of your heating budget to keep all that area warm. You would then need to worry about your water pump freezing but maybe you could build a wall around round it and heat a much smaller space.

I wish I had a way to share a photo or two. I copied your wood rack design (with a slight alteration) for the house; and a smallr version for my cabin in TN. Both turned out awesome. I used cabinet grade maple (from a salvage place).
